Northwestern at Purdue Preview And GameThread

Northwestern Wildcats at Purdue Boilermakers, Feb 12, 2012 6:00 PM EST


There is no need for an in depth preview, as we played these guys two weeks ago and squeezed out a win on Robbie Hummel's game-winner. It has been Purdue's only victory in its last five games, so clearly there is a lot at stake here. A loss deals a severe blow toward our chances at making the 2012 NCAA Tournament. That would mean losses in five of our past six games and in four of our last five games at Mackey Arena.

Simply put, Mackey needs to become a fortress again. Wisconsin and Michigan earned close wins on our floor and Indiana handed us an embarrassing 17 point loss. It's time to end that here and now and start a new home winning streak. If we win our remaining home games we go to the NCAA Tournament. If we can't defend our home floor against teams we've already beat on the road we don't deserve to go.

Sippin' On Purple has some solid notes:

NU must go small. We must. Purdue will, and if NU doesn't counter by also going small, I will punch my own face. NU - unsurprisingly - was most successful by putting out a small lineup, and went on a 10-0 run almost exactly at the same time Carmody pulled Davide Curletti in the second half. Like I said earlier, Curletti posting up Hummel is not a good possession. On one possession, he got matched up in the post against Purdue guard Ryne Smith, and promptly committed an offensive foul. NU should be smart and spread the floor and fight tiny fire with tiny fire. Hummel and Shurna will battle in the post, and it will determine the game. Bill Carmody inexplicably played Curletti for a large chunk of this game - including, for no particular reason, the last minute a half, when he subbed out Drew Crawford who only had two fouls and was NU's leading scorer and rebounder - and he was not helpful.

Expect the 1-3-1 because we have absolutely no idea how to attack it. Our last game proved we can play with anyone in the country, as Michigan State further made my point last night when they were actually allowed to play defense on Sullinger. That effort must be replicated.

This is the crossroads game, kids. Win it, and we're still alive. Lose it, and it is time to write off the season. it is that simple.

I'm not sure what made this post so great

1. That you’re an MSU fan on a Purdue vs. NW preview thread
2. That you posted a link from an OSU fan
3. That the link you posted even said Purdue got the short end of the stick on reffing

Well done!

My bad for not realizing that he was an OSU guy - since it was posted on the PU site.

Here’s what I took from the article

But a comparable amount of blown calls occurred against Ohio State, and as the fouls didn’t break up the flow of the game for either side, my conclusion is that the referees didn’t favor either team or significantly alter the game with an imbalance of bad calls, and that overall the officiating didn’t cost Purdue the game or hand it to OSU.

I love reading this page…it’s one of the most entertaining in the B1G family of pages. TMill and his crew do such a great job. As a B1G (albeit MSU) basketball fan, this is the place to come to get the pulse of what the PU fanbase feels.

Thanks, please drop by whenever

I know I like reading previews too but sometimes I have little more to say than “Oo, that’d be neat to see on other sites.” Which feels like filler.

Also, you can check a guy’s profile if you’re not sure…but yeah, someone posting a fanpost is probably a Purdue fan. I thought so too til I read the comments—and I should’ve considered I hadn’t seen the name much.

He was a total homer about it too.

those sites should say whoever wins this game breathes easier. those sites should say whoever wins this game breathes easier. those sites should say whoever wins breathes easier

if Purdue beats Northwestern they should at least take Nebraska and Penn State for 18 wins. I think they’re fully capable of at least one upset somewhere else (worst case scenario) and a 19 win season and a 9-9 Big 10 resume gets them in (especially with 2 NW wins and beating Minnesota, plus worst case split with Illinois). A loss means they might have to actually pull off two big wins down the stretch

If Northwestern wins they regain a fighting chance. Problem is they’ve repeatedly gotten their foot in the door only to repeatedly lose close games in conference play. A NW win keeps them in the “work to do” field, a loss more or less kills their chances unless they start ripping off upsets

We need the win

But with 6 games after this one we need 4 wins. So this is not do or die. It will just make it harder. We can win all of remaining games. Maybe its because I am older but teams get on a roll all the time. I won’t say were dead until we are mathamaticly dead . This one means no more or no less than the other 6. And even if we lose all of them we have the tourney Iowa went that route a few years back. We need to stop all of this crap . Of the 6 games remaining which three are you saying we can’t win. We can save the legs and just forfit them for you ! Whats with you today we ain’t dead and your wrong we can win all six if we do I won’t let you forget it ! Which Travis will show up ! Today bad Travis the sky is falling !

by oldboiler52 on Feb 12, 2012 3:23 PM EST reply actions  

There's mathematically dead, and there's the concept of leverage

This is the highest leverage of the remaining games. Of course a team should expect to win every game as it comes by. But it’s the near even games, and whether a team comes out on the right side of them, that decides things.

Just saying that if you could save luck or crunch time shots for certain games, it’d be most likely to be the close ones.

The women have an absolutely HUGE game on ESPN2 @5, too.

They’re one up in the loss column on O$U, PSU, and Neb and go to Columbus for their one date with Ohio State. Win, and they get PSU at home, 2 games clear of OSU. Nebraska still has to face OSU to end the season. Win, and they secure their spot in the driver’s seat for the Big Ten title. Lose, and it’s a four-way dog fight down the stretch.

ESPN2, 5 pm.

Especially since we got fucking jobbed.

There was a blatantly obvious 3.5 step travel before the desperation 3 to tie the 2nd OT. The refs did the one thing they absolutely can not do….they altered the outcome of a game by missing that call.

it actually is. Well, if they're the right kinds of T's.

Per the NCAA Rules for 2011-12 and 2012-13… (emphasis added)
Rule 4, Section 23 (Ejection)

Art. 1. Ejection is the act of immediate dismissal of an individual from participation in a game because of a specific infraction of the rules.
a. In addition to being disqualified, an individual who is ejected shall leave the playing court and floor area and report to his or her team’s locker room until the game is over.
Art. 2. The following shall result in automatic ejection:
a. Committing a flagrant 2 personal or flagrant 2 technical foul;
b. Incurring the maximum number or combination of technical fouls;
c. Participating in a fight;
d. Leaving the bench area during a fight situation as bench personnel but not participating in the fight; or
e. Participating after having been disqualified for a reason other than ejection.

Rule 10, Section 5, Article 1:

EJECTION: All CLASS A technical fouls shall apply toward ejection when the following have been assessed: a maximum of two CLASS A technical fouls (AA) as defined in Art. 1.a through d, one flagrant 2 technical foul (A) or a combination of one CLASS A technical foul and two CLASS B technical fouls (ABB).

Rule 4, Section 29, Article 3.c

(Men) CLASS A and CLASS B technical fouls. A CLASS A technical foul involves unsportsmanlike conduct or behavior by a player, substitute, coach or bench personnel. A CLASS B technical foul is an infraction of the rules that neither involves contact with an opponent nor causes contact with an opponent and falls below the limit of an unsportsmanlike act. Examples of CLASS A and CLASS B technical fouls shall include:
1. Unsportsmanlike conduct; using profanity, vulgarity, taunting, baiting (CLASS A);
2. Hanging on the ring, except when doing so to prevent an injury (CLASS B).

Both of Crawford’s technical fouls were Class A. So, he got ejected, and a 5-time Final Four official should have known better than to have allowed him to stay.

Sounded like a baby crow lol.

Wasn’t too bad until the FT parade at the end. Then it was a little much.

"Hey Jay, what time is it?"
"9:30"
"AND IU STILL SUCKS!"

Baby crow is spot on

Congrats on the win, Boilers

Byrd killed us tonight, so did Johnson with a couple of critical shots.

I feel like we left an opportunity out there given how badly Purdue shot in the first half.

Good luck going forward.

Thanks

Northwestern played tough. Hopefully they get in the dance, but not at our expense of course.

Even if we have a similar 'tournament resume'

they wouldn’t get in over us, we’ve swept the season series against them

True

Games are still left. They could beat better teams.

Thanks, we feel lucky to have won both

Don’t know if I’d want a 3rd BTT matchup.

Unless the teams were on opposite sides of the bracket :)

For what it's worth,

Shurna kicked our tails tonight. And Crawford when we played in Evanston. Hope you guys make the tournament so Shurna can feel vindicated. If he never plays in the NCAA tournament it’ll be the biggest tragedy in college basketball since, uh, Talor Battle. He deserved it too.

To your call once more we rally....

ah. right you are.

not sure how I could have possibly forgotten that. guess I was just relating to how I felt last year that he really deserved to play in the tourney but they only barely made it
